Cunningham are the seniors who will
be' making their final appearance in
a Michigan uniform. Two more se-
niors must be added to the list, Joe
Rogers, whose gridiron career came
to an abrupt end as a result of a spin-
al injury incurred in the Gopher tilt,
and Norm Call, whose pre-season in-
jury has iept him out of action all
year.
The members of the betting gentry
who make their living from these grid
battles have established the home
team as a 2-1 favorite over the Col-
umbus invaders, despite the fact that
both outfits show identical won and
lost records.
Impressive Records
So far this season the Wolverines
have trampled Michigan State, Iowa,
Pitt, Northwestern, Illinois and Col-
umbia. Ohio tate can point to vic-
tories over Missouri, Southern Cali-
fornia, Purdue, Pitt, Wisconsin, Illi-
nois, while their lone defeat was sus-t,'
tained at the hands of Northwestern.
When Paul Brown leads ?the Buck-
eyes onto the field today, it will mark I
his first appearance in Ann Arbor at
the helm of the Scarlet and Gray. The
Buckeye mentor, taken from the high
school, ranks, has turned in an im-
pressivg performance since the time,
he too over the reins of the dis-
sension-ridden Scarlet band last
spring.
The 32 year old coach has dis-
carded all of the 'razzle-dazzle that
formerly marked Ohio State teams
under the tutelage of Francis
Schmidt; and has turned to funda-
mentals to bring the Columbus aggre-
gation back to the football peaks. Ac-
cordingly, the huge crowni which will
jam the mammoth Stadium will beI
treated to the sight of an Ohio State
team relying on power and straight
football instead of the deception and
galaxy of lateral passes that haveso
long been associated with the Bucks.,
Uraf And Fisher Lead Bucks
The invaders will base their run-
ning attack on the strong' legs of
fullback Jack Graf and halfback Dick
Fisher, operating from both the single!
and double wingback formations.!
Graf will be unable to handle the
punting chores because of a knee in-
jury, however, and Fisher will do the
booting for the Ohio State crew.N

If It's An Athletic Career Man
You Want, Just Yell For Munn
By HOE SELTZER
"And 80,000 fans cried out: 'Munri!
Munn! Munn!'"
-The above is a direct quote from
Bob Ingalls, who tries to bait Line
Coach Clarence (Biggie) :)Munn with
it every now and again during prac-
tice sessions. And everybody laughs
at Clarence and is very jolly, and
Biggie laughs too and in fact more
than anyone,' because what Ingalls
has uttered in such a joking man-
..er is nothing but the truth.
Astounding Athletic History
A goodly percentage of the stu-
dentry are no doubt aware that Clar-
ence Munn is the gent who each fall
fashions one of the better forward
walls in the nation as his contribu-
tion to Wolverine grid fortunes But
few indeed are familiar with the as-
tounding athletic history of the man.'
Biggie Munn is shaped more or less
along cubical lines and concentrates
225 pounds on a five foot eight inch
frame. He looks like a slow moving
cookie on sight. But one day last
year Ralph Fritz and Milo Sukup
were horsing around a bit tog much
in practice and Munn hopped in at
defensive guard and told them to
drive him out of the next play.
It was awful what he did to those
two All-Conference guards. Biggie
was across the line almost before the
DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN
ball left the center's hands, Fritz was
sprawled on the turf and Sukie had
a did-you-get-his-licensenumber look
in his eyes. Biggie Mu n moves fast.
Which qombination of speed and
tonnage is without doubt the reason
why he was All-Conference guard
from Minnesota in both 1930 and
1931. In 1931 Munn was captain of
his team, an unanimous All-American,
choice and was presented with the
Chicago Tribune Award, which is
annually given to the most valuable
player in the Big Ten.
Dwell a bit on this last fact,
friends. Linemen never win the Chi-
cago Tribune Award. Only star
backs like Jay Berwanger 'and Nile
Kinnick and Tommy Harmon do.
Never linemen. But Biggie Munn
got it in 1931 and he played guard.
Didn't Just Play Guard
Maybe it's becausehe didn't just
play guard. At one time or another
in college he played every position
but end, center and quarterback. And
he was always pulled out of the line
to do the team's punting. Long, high
60 yard skyscrapers he used to boom
out and still does on occasion.,
Nor was Clarenci Munn just a one
sport man. At innesota he was
also All-Conference shot put champ,
Today Bob Ingalls may chant again
for the last time, "And 80,000 fans
cried out: 'Munn! Munn! Munn!'"
And Biggie Munn will laugh again.
Bucks Boast
Star Booter
By BOB STAHL ' ,
It may be a very good thing that'
Michigan'sbgrid coach, Fritz Crisler,
has at last developed a superior place-
kicker in Bill Melzow, for this after-
noon the Wolverines may need those
points-after-touchdown. The Buck-
eyes have come up with a boy pos-
sessing a toe educated to a very high
degree in the difficult art of kicking
a pigskin between the goal posts,
said boy being a sophomore end by
the name of Leon Schoenbaum.
Getting his first real break when
he was advanced to the first team to
take the place of Charley Anderson,
whom Coach Paul Brown had dis-
missed from the squad for an in-
fraction of training rules, Schoen-
baum quickly proved himself to be
quite a capableend. He is a very
good pa~s receiver, and his speed en-
ables him to get down the field very
fast under punts to get in those tack-
les which are so necessary to the de-
fensive play of a good end.
Still lacking some in experience,
Schoenbaum's defensive play is rug-
ged, if not polished, but he has
proved that he learns very fast from
experience, and he has improved to
such an extent over his early-sea-
son play that grid experts have, pre-
dicted he will be as good as Charley
Anderson, who was reputedly one of
the best ends in the Conference.
But the attribute which makes
Schoenbaum the scourge of every
The 32-year-old coach had every right to be nervous, perhaps a bit
irritable, in this situation. Certainly he was anxious to see that his
charges received every benefit to be derived from last minute instruc-
tions. Certainly he must have been on edge facing the biggest assign-
ment of his young, yet incredibly successful, coaching career. But he
still found time to treat the assembled strangers with the utmost cordi-
I ality.I
"OUR BOYS PLAY TO WIN." Coach Brown grinned, "but they also play
for the fun they get out of it." Nor was this just talk. It was borne
out in full by 35 enthusiastic Buckeyes who laughed and shouted and kidded
as if they hadn't a care in the world. These weren't boys worrying about
their participation in the nation's number 'one football game before the
country's largest crowd. They were just big, husky lads having a heck of a
good time.
Spicing his words with typical collegiate expressions, Brown dis-
coursed at random, dwelling on whtever subjects his listeners desired
"My biggest problem on arriving at OSU," Brown guessed, "was
changing the boys idea of a workable offense . . . when I arrived they
didn't think a play had a chance of succeeding unless it changed hands
at least four times . . . we played Missouri in the opener with only 16
plays, four passes and a punt in our play selection . . . but we beat
their brains out on pure fundamen.tals and power and won, 12-7, making
14 first downs to their eight."
"COURSE, WE'VE ADDED a lot since then," the affable mentor continued,
"but we still rely on perfect execution rather than haphazard deception
we average about four to ten passes per game, I guess . . . we're pretty
thin in a lot of spots, too, as you'll see tomorrow . . . really we're not as
good as our record shows . . . we just skinned by Pitt . . . caught 'em fore
they busted loose, I guess . . . 'n Illinois nearly beat us too . . . I'm not
kidding, as you'll see tomorrow . . . we've gone a long ways on attitude and
pure fight . . . I've got a great bunch of kids, though, high-spirited and
clean."
I There was lots more, too. Intimate stuff about Illinois, the susien-
sion of Charley Anderson, Western Conference coaching, etc....but
most of it was prefaced with the request that it be kept off the record.
So it will be.
BY THIS TIME, observers were beginning to feel just a little bit sorry for
those undermanned Ohio Staters. But just then, 35 perfectly sount,
healthy reasons why Michigan should not be heavily favored, charged into
the runway, ending the interview. They weren't the least bit worried. May-
, be they don't read the newspapers.

amazing ability to place-kick. The
long, lanky end usually does the
kicking-off, always putting the ball
out-of-bounds or into the end zone.
So far this year, Schoenbaum has
tried 22 placekicks for the point-
after-touchdown and has made 11 of
them. This does not give a true in-
dication of the sophomore's ability,
however, for several of his kicks were
blocked, which was obviously not his
fault, and twice he had to kick over
because Ohio State was offside on
the play.
